Spousal Visa Application - Pakistan (Timeline Only)

I got the emails at early morning around 4 am 15 min gap between them.

Do you know how long it takes for documents to arrive at gerry's Islamabad? Need to alert Wife to be alert for the phone!

Insha'Allah you will get yours very soon Shreen.

I have received 2 emails this morning. One to say application been concluded with the reference number.

Is it good news??

I applied on 7th November so were on to November alhumdulillah

Please advise as I literally do not know how to feel after reading the emails

Mashallah thats great news as you have received the email that says concluded and reference number as everyone that has had these emails have been got their passports stamped with the visa. Im also happy that bhc islmd are now processing applications quicker and you got it in under 3 months amazing. also pray for us that our appeal gets overturned before going to court.

InshAllah will keep you all in my prayers as I know how difficult it is waiting after marriage for your partner to come and begin married life

I really hope your appeal is overturned

I have actually just received email from gerry's to say documents are ready to be collected!!
I hope visa is stamped inshaAllah!! and others get visa very soon. Amin

Applied: 27-10-14 ISB
Escalated: 23-12-2014
Processed: 26-01-15
Processed + concluded with ref email: 28-01-15
Documents arrived at Gerrys: 28-01-15

Regards

Many congrats to those who have got visas. I can't believe they are still processing October visas from Karachi and Islamabad. Will be interesting to see which city will come after Mirpur in getting November applications processed. Week 14 will be complete on Friday for my wife's application. Please pray for us.

@fullahs

Did you guys hear anything from your VAC?
I see all of you lot have received two emails. Whereas I have only received one email. I have not received the second email stating the conclusion ref number. I am scared now.

Finally another Karachi applicant! You're only the third person on this forum who has applied from Karachi. The other two are my wife and akhan48. We both gave our applications in October. So far on this forum, the 2 email theory seems to ring true but honestly, you never know. Just wait for the phone call to pick up your docs and check out the passport. Praying you receive good news, seeing rejections on here makes me miserable. I really feel the pain we are all going through. All the best, keep your spirits high

My wife got 2 e-mails today!

Your Visa Application @ Islamabad (Ref: 176****)
Update on your UK visa application GWF03362****

Both e-mails were received 45 mins apart. I guess we just have to wait for Gerry's to contact us now.
Please pray for us that it's good news!
